And rollicking good fun it was too. Lots of money raised for charidee 
and all that. 

For posterity these were Ben's questions. Good team names and 
humorous answers were rewarded. Pedantary was harshly dealt with. One 
team gained a point for giving the answer to questions 30 as "Sherlock 
Holmes and the case of the missing septum" but lost a point for giving 
the answer "Highland Park" to number 23.

Don't reply to me or the list with answers - I'm going to post them as a 
reply to this. 

As mentioned, pedantry will be harshly dealt with.
